 Expanse of wings, male, 1.20 to 1.30 inches; female, 

 1.50 inches. 



Male. — Upper surface grayish wood-brown, rather 

 dark, without spots or marks, except that the spots of 

 the under side of the hind wings and the dark lines bor- 

 dering the terminal dark yellow line on the same wings 

 show through a little. Fringes concolorous, in certain 

 lights a little smoky tinged. Under surface slightly 

 paler than the upper, a little more of the mouse order 

 of color, sprinkled with buff scales. Both the wings are 

 crossed by four transverse brownish-yellow stripes, so 

 dark on the fore wings as to be yellow brown, occupying 

 the same position as the same lines in its ally, N. Areo- 

 latus, the first and second uniting by a rounded end 

 about a tenth of an inch from the inner margin of hind 

 wings, the two outer — one terminal and the other sub- 

 terminal — also uniting before reaching anal angle. In 

 Areolatus these lines do not unite. Each of these lines 

 has a dark brown [more or less distinct] fine bordering 

 line on each side of it. The first line crosses the fore 

 wings a little more than two-thirds the distance from 

 the base of the wing to end of cell, the hind wings about 

 two-thirds. The second line crosses fore wing a little 

 beyond the end of cell, the hind wings across the end 

 of cell. The second and third are approximate anterior- 

 ly, as in Areolatus. Fore wings with a row of four 

 small ocelli between second and third lines, circled with 

 pale Naples yellow or buff, the first varying from a dot, 

 the size of an ordinary period, to about twice that diam- 

 eter ; in four examples circular, in two, a little oval, in
